My Review

Featured Review

What makes life so meaningful is the idea that nothing in the future is certain. Our fates are filled with bountiful opportunities that are waiting to be discovered, yet, if we as humans only fear the future, then our lives are stripped of meaning. I'm a bit wary of taking risks, but those risks are a factor that defines life and builds courage. We shouldn't be afraid to "bathe in the mist", as a literature teacher once told me. Dive in and experience it all, the pain and joy. There's always a light at the end of the road (sorry, that was too cliche!). Before I ramble on any longer, great job on this!

And what if you've taken the risk, experienced joy out of it and now are left with the pain only?..... read moreAnd what if you've taken the risk, experienced joy out of it and now are left with the pain only?...
I agree, life is full of surprises but sometimes we get the worst deals out of it...
Thank you. I appreciate your thoughtful ramblings.

That is true, but should we live in fear of every bad circumstance that may happen?

I've taken risks that have ruined my sense of being, but I don't use pain as a factor to keep me on the ground. I use it to grow, no matter how much it hurts or how much I regret.

I love the question that this poses. Saying "follow your heart" is one of those things easier said than done ... besides, my heat's pretty dumb at times, haha.
I agree with Sapientiam in that nothing is certain. No matter what strategy we use in life, whether it be following our hearts or our minds, we will have to endure pain. In the book "Man's Search for Meaning," I read that suffering ceases to be so once one finds its meaning. I don't entirely agree with that idea, but it has given me insight on how to use pain for personal growth. Everything can have a reason if you're willing to search for it.

You wrote beautifully by the way!

Pain for personal growth, hm that would be certainly something one should have to practice a lot before one masters it...
Thank you for the insightful words here, William. I truly appreciate that.

I think we all feel this way at some point in our lives, both men and women. I thought this was beautiful, however, you can never go wrong when you follow your heart, even if it leads you down a dead end, it only means that that is where you are suppose to be right now. Otherwise I loved it.

So maybe it all comes down to fate...
Thank you for your insight here. I appreciate it.

All the "what ifs" that plague us and stop us from following our heart, the poet eloquently expresses here. The answers? We won't know until we take the risk...if we reach a "dead end", at least we will have loved, and learned...

I don't think all dead ends end with us learning and loving. Some lead to regrets, more so everlasti.. read moreI don't think all dead ends end with us learning and loving. Some lead to regrets, more so everlasting ones...
Thank you for your thoughts, Annette.

Follow it once. If it leads you astray - grrrr....get a heart transplant !
Like Sapientiam says though, there are no guarantees in this worldand it's pretty much all trial and error.
I really like this. It was me many years ago.
